Leading healthcare provider, ProCare, has announced changes to its Health (PHO) Limited Board – effective 3 September.

Donovan Clarke has been appointed as a Director on the Health Board following the resignation of Ann Davis, who has acted as a Nurse Representative since March 2022.  

Tevita Funaki, Chair of ProCare’s Health Board, acknowledges Ann’s contribution to the Board: “Ann has been a fantastic addition to our Board as the first Nurse Representative. We thank her for her service to ensure the provision of essential primary healthcare services to the people of Tāmaki Makaurau.

“Her dedication and knowledge are second to none, and we wish her all the best for her future endeavours,” points out Funaki.

Commenting on Donovan’s appointment Funaki says: “Donovan has been a Director on the ProCare Network Board for several years, so knows ProCare and the primary care landscape well. Donovan has led significant change across governance structures and is passionate about making an impact on health outcomes in a community.

“He is a transformational leader having championed key projects across primary care, mental health and addictions, and the disability sector. We are thrilled to have him join our Health Board and help shape the way we operate,” concludes Funaki.

Commenting on his appointment, Clarke says: “I am pleased to be welcomed onto ProCare’s Health Board to work alongside our other fantastic Board members. It is a challenging time in health right now, especially in General Practice, so I am committed to doing what I can to advocate on behalf of our practices and community. I look forward to navigating the changes that primary care faces and ensuring that we continue to best serve our practices, patients, whānau and communities.”
